These results provide a design plan for battery materials. The use of Mg4C60 could lead to batteries that support fast ...

Chemists in Matthew Jones’ lab at Rice University discovered that gold fullerenes (center) are one and the same as “seed” particles (top right) that scientists have long used to synthesize myriad ...

Carbon-based batteries could become safer, more durable, and more powerful by following this new method that fundamentally redesigns how fullerene molecules are connected.

A fullerene is a carbon compound whose molecule is made up of carbon atoms linked together by single and double bonds to create a closed or partly closed mesh with rings of 5 to 7 atoms. Graphene ...

A study conducted by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil and the Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza" in Italy has synthesized fullerenes and hollow spherical graphene ...

Buckminsterfullerene was first discovered in 1985 by a research team from Rice and Sussex University and was named after the American architect Buckminster Fuller due to its structural similarity to a ...
